Episode 1 [2.1]

[Guy has brought a kitten in Mac’s room. He then takes out a gun and points it at the kitten.]

Guy: "Wake up, or the kitty gets it." [Pause, followed by the kitten meowing quietly, then he talks to the kitten.] "You said it would work."

Caroline: "Guy, did you take a cat and a gun into Mac’s ward?"

Guy: "It was a replica."

Caroline: [Gasps] "You brought in a replica cat?"

Guy: "A replica gun."

Caroline: "You're trying to get fully reinstated, how stupid can you be?"

Guy: "Not stupid enough to ask whether or not someone has brought in a replica cat."

Episode 2 [2.2]

Angela: "Just tell him what happened."

Caroline: "He might not believe me. I’ve got no witnesses."

Angela: "Well, if he knows his minds gone a bit…blurrg…so just tell him."

Caroline: "Oh right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hi Mac, I’m er, I’m Caroline. You know, the one you found a bit irritating at first, but then er…well, the thing is you really, really liked me and now we’re kind of a couple. So, there you go, I’ve filled in all the gaps, let’s go to bed."

Angela: "Well, maybe in not so many words."

[At an internal tribunal.]

Charles: Isn’t there something else you’d like to say?"

Guy: "Err…I don’t think so?"

Sue: "What’s the magic word?"

Guy: "Abracadabra?"

Charles: "How do you normally express your gratitude to somebody?"

Guy: "You want a tip? Is that ethical?"

Caroline: "Look, we’re all back!"

Mac: "Yeah, but I don’t really remember who you are?"

Guy: "Well, as long you remember in what order to put the organs back in in."

Mac: "What an odd thing to say say." [Mac has a scalpel in his hand, and starts waving it around.] "A one, a two, a one, two, three, four."

Caroline: "Yeah, I’m actually a little bit worried now."

Mac: "Wuss."

Guy: "Oooh…no! Not like that! Don’t hold it like that. Oh my God, the man’s a butcher. Be careful with that bit, that’s the bit they need to…eat asparagus. They won’t be able to eat asparagus if you cut that bit out."

[Guy and Mac’s top five qualities in a woman, to Caroline.]

Guy: "Five qualities, that’s easy. Number one, bendy."

Mac: "Unpredictable."

Guy: "Number two, shaved."

Mac: "Must appreciate the genius of the Kinks."

Guy: "Number three, slightly anorexic."

Mac: "Thoughtful eyes."

Guy: "Four, about sort of 5% lesbian."

Mac: "Should be in touch with her masculine side."

Guy: "And finally, mustn’t be too smelly, in the cellar."

Mac: "Compassionate."

Guy: [Disgusted] "Errrr…So what you’ve come up with is an unpredictable, yet compassionate, slightly masculine, Kinks fan... with eyes?"

Mac: "I know. It’s an impossible dream."

Episode 3 [2.3]

[Harriet rushes into the office.]

Harriet: "Oh, sorry I’m late. The kids."

Kim: "Took forever to get ready?"

Harriet: "Yeah, and the traffic."

Rachel: "Terrible?"

Harriet: "Wasn’t it. "Then I had to stop off at…" [She opens her bag, and a cat comes out of it.] "Oh. Well who did I leave at the vets then?"

Caroline: "I’m just saying it’s a male dominated workplace."

Guy: "Bollocks!"

Caroline: "I’ve got a few other points you can prove for me if you like."

Guy: "It’s not male dominated, they’re bloody women everywhere."

Mac: "Hmm…crunching underfoot everywhere they walk."

Guy: "Yeah. Have you ever paid for a woman to walk on you? I have. It’s pointless. Really hurts."

Caroline: "Wow, it’s like working with Germaine Greer."

Joanna: "Right, what have we got? Anything?"

Kim: "Oh wait, there’s a complaints file."

Joanna: "I knew it!" [They open the file. A pop-up paper set of flowers comes up from the file. Both scream at the sight.] "Oh damn, she’s good."

Sue: "Do I look like a mug? Have I got a handle? Am I made of china? Am I kept in a cupboard or on a small wooden tree? Would you like to put your lips on my rim? You may answer that question, the others were rhetorical."

Angela: "This is the chance of a lifetime. If it doesn’t happen now, it may never happen."

Sue: "Are we still on the rim thing?"

[Mac enters the gents'.]

Martin: [O. O. V.] "Hi Mac."

[Mac turns around and sees what has happened.]

Mac: "OK, that is the worst, "Going to the toilet," I’ve ever seen."

[The camera moves to show Martin stuck to the wall with parcel tape.]

Martin: "Yeah, Guy said he’d be phoning the gays."

Mac: "Which gays?"

Martin: "Well, all of them."

Mac: "The thing you have to understand about the gays, is that they're probably more scared of you, than you are of them."

Episode 4 [2.4]

Guy: [To Caroline] "You’ve got paperclips stuck to your hand."

Caroline: "Have I?" [Caroline lifts up her left hand. There are paperclips stuck to it.] Oh, must be a full moon, my hand goes magnetic."

Episode 5 [2.5]

Guy: "Can you get a verruca on your penis?"

Caroline: "I can’t, can you?"

Mac: "Never tried, pretty good at most parlour games though."

Guy: "A friend of mine fell knob first into a swimming pool, he was wondering, that’s all. I’m not interrupting anything am I?"

Mac: "Just the evolution of mankind."

Episode 6 [2.6]

Joanna: “You’ve kept notes! Tell me you haven’t written down what you’ve did to my cousin?”

Alan: "Not really."

[Joanna takes Alan’s notebook and reads it herself.]

Joanna: ““Damaged heron.” Somehow that’s worse.”

Alan: “Give it here.”

Joanna: “No, that’s going to the same place as my cousin.”

Alan: “Oh that’s terrific, where am I supposed to jot down my useful ideas?”

Joanna: “On you knob end? You wouldn’t need a huge amount of space will you? Oh here’s a useful idea for you, don’t kill dwarfs with herons.”

Dummy: “Destroy her!”

Sue: “Yes good, how.”

Alan: “Let’s have sex separately.”

Episode 8 [2.8]

Guy: [As Caroline takes a towel and wipes the mirror without reading the message.] “No!”

Caroline: “What?”

Guy: “You spoilt it.”

Caroline: [Brushing her teeth] “Spoilt what?”

Guy: “The mirror, I'd written in it.”

Caroline: “Really.”

Guy: “Yes.”

Caroline: “Wrote what?”

Guy: “It doesn’t matter now, but if you must know it was, 'I love you.'”

Caroline: “You bloody narcissist!"

Mac: “All I’m saying is that you’ll never be a one woman man.”

Guy: “That’s rubbish, I am.”

Mac: “Are you?”

Guy: “Yeah.”

Mac: “What about that new blonde girl in ENT, nice or what?”

Guy: “Not interested.”

Mac: “Not interested?”

Guy: “No. No, I’ve changed.”

Mac: “Oh great. What about Graham in dermatology?”

Guy: “Changed as in, “I think I’m ready for commitment.””

Mac: “Fantastic. I’ll sign your commitment papers for you today.”

The Secret Policeman's Ball Sketch

Mac: You look a bit like a fairy.

Guy: [Points to Mac and Sue] Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot. That's the introductions out of the way.

Sue: Really? Who's this, then? [Get up off the gurney and talks to the patient] Oh, no, you don't, little lady. Uh-huh. Think we might've met before. Come on, up you pop. Off your trolley!

Guy: [Points to Sue and the patient] Pot, kettle. Kettle, pot.

Misc quotes

Joanna: “Criminals always get caught in the end, don’t you watch TV?”

Boyce: [To Martin, after he denies he offered a ride on his motorbike to a prostitute.] "Well, there was someone straddling you mate, maybe you should check your rear-view mirrors more."
